These anonymous holds have been difficult to uncover and combat. It seems as though there’s some sort of tag-team arrangement where as soon as one holder is identified and called out, another one picks up the hold. It appears that nobody in the pro-LPFM camp knows who is holding the bill right now, keeping it from reaching a floor vote.

As I’m tired of mentioning, time is running out quickly in this session of Congress, and so is time to finally vote on the Local Community Radio Act in the Senate.

One Response to Hooping for LPFM

Unfortunately you are “preaching to the choir.” Surely everyone reading your post is tired ….. of waiting ten years for a new LPFM window. However, I am afraid some Senators don’t want to give”rest and relief.”

Tuesday there is an Omnibus bill scheduled, and our bill could get “tacked on.” Exactly ten-years ago Congress “tacked on” the law that we have been trying to change even since.
